Dear GHC (5.02.2),
By occasion, can you --make things parallelwise, concurrently ? For we have 6 processors here, and ghc -O --make <HeadModule>
takes more than 60 minutes on one procesor to `make' my application (to find import dep-s, compile many .hs modules, create libraries).
Also `making' GHC from source takes more that 4 hours on one processor.
We'd like to do something like this, but it's not high up the priority list. For the time being, you can use normal Makefiles with 'ghc -M' to create dependencies, and then use 'make -j' to get parallelism. Cheers, Simon
